office max for $12.97. It is Parchment paper but not marked that way in the card stock paper area.

For the glasses die cut I used the Every Day Paper Dolls dress up Cricut cartridge
And from a bathing suit icon under Accessories 1 I found a pair of glasses.
I set them to 8" to cut

For the Owl die cut I used Halloween Chic Cartridge set to 2 1/2 inches

The red and brown paper is sold in a paper pack Micheal's.

I found an "H" stamp at Michaels for 4.99 in the wedding aisle
The red wax is also 4.99 but I already had it.
I bought the stamp with a 40% off coupon so it was about 3.00.
The tickets below were too complicated to explain how I made this design so the free download is below.

Harry Potter Butterbeer Recipe #3

I found this one on e-How. Again, hot and again, you could freeze or cool before serving. I liked how this one used butterscotch chips and the coffee creamer. Adds a real different dimension that still stays on track with the Harry Potter theme park version.

Ingredients

10 OZ of Cream Soda (1 & 1/4 cups)

1 Tbsp of Salted REAL Butter

1/2 Cup Butterscotch chips

1/4 Cup Original Coffee Mate Liquid Creamer

Directions

Put the Butterscotch Chips and Butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Stir and Heat for another 30 seconds. Now add your Creamer to the bowl.

Microwave in 30 Second increments again. Stirring each time. It usually takes about 4 times (2 minutes) to get the right consistency. Set your mixture aside. The chips and butter should be a thick stir-able paste.

Heat Cream soda in the microwave for 90 seconds. BE VERY CAREFUL! Microwaves times vary. Make sure not to over heat the Cream Soda or all of the fizz will be gone.

Sorting Hat I bought on Amazon for 11.00 free shipping
I downloaded all the crests on printed out 2 sheets of each house crest.
The kids sat on a stool and dug out of a bag to find out what
school they were in. We then pinned the crest onto their shirt for games.

Game 1Broom Relay Race
We had a broom relay race were the 2 kids of 2 teams raced
by flying the broom from one side and past to another team member
on the other side until all team members had ridden and past the broom.

Mini Brooms were 1.00 each at the thrift store

Game 2 "Expecto Petronis"
The kids three 3 different sized balls at balloons. If they
hit one their team got a point.
Balloons are 1.00 from the dollar store...they are 1.50 or more at
Party City for Latex only.
I wanted to dress the balloons with black plastic bags but
it weighed them down too much...ah well.

Game 3"Quiddich"

A sitting version of Quiddich
The kids passed a ball around and for a timed minute.
What ever team was holding the ball when the minute was up
got the point. In the middle of the minute count down we added a golden snitch
which was a Ferraro Rocher chocolate. If they were holding it when the minute was up,they got to eat it.
We played 8 rounds of this game.
